We have also seen several errors in the regexp package on our current project. We have had to remove several of our regular expression validations since they would freeze up and never recover. Although regexp is 'lighter', it doesn't seem to be reliable enough. I would love to see ORO used instead. Also, from the dates on the binaries, it seems that regexp is not actively updated, while it seems that ORO is updated somewhat regularly.

It might be easily missed since I forwarded the bug for this that I filed. Email Validation doesn't allow '-' in address. This is an error in the Jakarta Regexp package. It also has trouble with large max values. ex: ^\d{2,1000}$ Does anyone think we should just switch to ORO? I'm leaning that way, but I used Jakarta Regexp because it was considered 'lighter'. If it isn't completely reliable, that doesn't really matter. Or we could include both as an option, but I don't want to confuse anyone.
